Figurative, abstract, and abstraction, which manifested
itself in Italy in the late 1940s, has used the aniconic (nondepictive) language of expression in artistic perspectives.
The dynamism experienced in the art movements after
1945 enabled the enrichment of material possibilities by
revealing the artistic subjectivity and the enrichment of the
relationship between form and content by using waste
objects as a means of expression. Using the postmodern
language of expression, Italian artist Alberto Burri
developed innovative techniques in terms of form and
content with the materials he chooses. This study aims to
explain the relationship between form and content in
Burri's work. Contributing to the development of the
Western painting tradition by conceptualizing collage,
Burri deals with the trauma of recent history with his
different approaches and montages to manipulate
everyday materials; II. By making the receivers feel the
devastated situation, damage, repair and vulnerability to
the situation after the World War II, it leaves their
concentration alone with the contents that they have
hidden in the spirit of the forms and directs them to
internal reckoning. Burri opens a window into the world
of human existence with his materials; while showing the
tragedies, wounds, and unhappiness of people by going
into the depths of the human, he also gives the message
that happiness will reemerge. In his works, with his
fictional understanding imitating nature, he questions the
concept of art, relates his artistic practice to life, and
reveals the reality of life with his art.
